Decentralized Social (DESO) is a blockchain project built specifically for social media. Its ticker is DESO, and the idea is simple: instead of your posts, followers, and content living on servers owned by a big corporation, they live on a blockchain that no single company controls. Think of it as an attempt to rebuild social networks from the ground up so that creators own their audience and their data.
Frequently asked questions
What is Decentralized Social and how is it different from regular social media?
DESO is a layer-1 blockchain designed purely for social applications, unlike general-purpose chains like Ethereum. On traditional platforms such as Twitter or Instagram, the company owns your account, followers, and content. With DESO, your profile and social graph are stored on-chain, so you can move between apps built on it without losing your audience.
How does the DESO blockchain work?
DESO runs as its own independent blockchain rather than a token on another network. It uses a proof-of-work consensus model similar to Bitcoin's, with a focus on storing social data like posts, profiles, follows, and creator coins efficiently and cheaply. This architecture lets many social apps share one common layer of user data.
How is DESO's supply and emission structured?
DESO has a hard cap of 10,808,492 coins, meaning no more than that will ever exist. This fixed maximum supply is baked into the protocol, similar to how Bitcoin's cap limits its issuance. The limited supply model is a deliberate design choice rather than an open-ended inflationary scheme.
How can you store and use DESO?
DESO is stored in wallets built for its own blockchain, including the official DeSo wallet available as a browser extension and mobile app. Within the ecosystem, you can use it to create profiles, post content, buy and sell creator coins tied to individual users, and tip creators directly. Since it's a native coin on its own chain, standard Ethereum or Bitcoin wallets won't work with it.
